Agreed.  Colby will sell a hell of a lot more PPV buys than Leon-Belal would.  I don't think you could make Leon-Belal the main event of a PPV unless it was with a ridiculously stacked undercard or it co-main'd Jones-Stipe or something like that. 

Isn't Chimaev strictly a Middleweight now???  

I think Dana is praying Colby beats Leon and i think Colby does   and i say that as someone who has picked Edwards twice over Usman

Colby isn't  the biggest draw after Conor, I don't think he top 10, 90% of people know his personalty  is all ********, And he's not even the best at it. I think Khamzat is more of a draw then Colby tbh

Respect to him for doing it because it has help his career, I personally don't care about ******** trash talk, I don't care about WWE ********, I want to watch face punching

I had my money on Maia decsion at +205, Only reason I put money on it because it was WMMA so anyone can win and a lot of the time it goes to decsion.

Also, I like to bet on fights I watch, And the other 2 WMMA fight were on at like 2am in my timezone

Colby only has a 1m instergram follower, While it isn't bad, Many fighter has way more, Just gonna say, Khamzat has 5 million followers, Khamzat vs Leon is the fight to make in the division

UFC don't relest the number for PPV buys or fighter pay anymore, So we actully don't really have a clue

The UFC might as well turn into pro-wrestling and send all their legitimate fighters to Bellator and ONE.

P.S.

Since Dana White has fighters he hopes wins anyway, turn it into pro-wrestling and make it happen.

Fiziev is legit TOP 10 UFC fighter .... I don't see him enetering top 5, Poirier, Oliveira will choke him, Beneil and Islam - ragdoll, even Arman and Gamrot will outwrestle him...

he needs to train in Dagestan, not in Thailand, same story as Petr Yan

Nobody wants to see wonderboy against another wrestler. We know how it would go and it would be boring because it would go no different if they fought 10 times. There are top contenders waiting for a title elimination type of fight stop trying to call out easier fights for Colby against guys who are past the prime or on a losing skid. He’s had enough of those. He had to fight someone young and hungry now. He’s had an easier path for too long. Hell even add usman to that 4 man tournament. Really expected fizziev to ko gaethje. He hurt him a few times and for whatever reason didn’t follow up. Cardio management maybe?

I know no one wants to see Wonderboy face another grappler, but the guy wants to try to earn a title shot. What about Gunnar Nelson?

Or if Gunnar fights someone like RDA, what about Luque vs. Wonderboy? Only other opponent that's gonna get Thompson one step closer to a title shot is JDM.

yeah there's no shot any prelim fighter made 750K lmao. Check the prelims on that card (it was 268 when Dana said it) and tell me who you think could have been given a 750K purse...

Dana intentionally said prelims but he was really talking about Chandler on the undercard.

I still don't understand Gaethje's cardio. 1 round with Khabib and he was breathing heavy as ****, 3 rounds with Fiziev after numerous body shots and he looked like he could go for another 2 rounds.
